@Rivuzu Its a free for all we tend to let people gravitate to the roles they wanna play and that best counter the opposition, so generally its more like 2 core and 2 support and 1 floater.

I just find Dazzle really gets steamrolled by the end of the game. His heal anyone can provide with Mech. It all depends how you wanna play your support, I play it in the middle of the fight so stuff with active abilities to stun and CC are important.

I wanna expand my skills into the more isoteric characters. But I find anything with too much micro does not suit my tunnell vision.

@DamoVotf I have a similar problem when it comes to micro. I find that if I play a character that has to micro creeps or illusions that I just end up too focused on controlling my hero, often leaving my illusions doing nothing

To you Dazzle players, don't forget to run him as the ultimate anti-carry support. Never underestimate how much damage resistance/extra damage you can do with Weave on their entire team/your entire team. Constantly increasing armor is no joke when you consider 1 point of armor is roughly 3% of your max hp as Effective HP.

Don't suppose anyone would be open to letting me join them sometime? I'm terrible and don't like being shouted at in all caps, unless it's EGers. EGers rage far better than randoms.

I know the basic rules from beta and a bit of Guardians of Middle Earth. That's about it. Though reading from the top of this page I don't think I'll ever be good at it so I might be best never to play it.

last night was good fun. the first game i think we were unlucky I made one or two mistakes in the last couple of team fights when we wiped I should have baited out the Ravage with my illusions or something.

As a whole you have improved loads since I last played with you, just got to work on that mid game standing around not doing a lot lark, maybe try smoke ganking or something, there where lots of times where we grouped up and then did nothing for so long so i went back to farming because i was losing to much gold and xp. but your laning has got loads better. and your late game team fight is finding some sort of co-ordination.

I probably wasn't the best hero to help with the mid game as that's Anti-Mages 'farm' stage of the game where he farms the big items out before anyone else can.

Although we won you can see we had the same problem in the games we have lost. The mid game kinda falls apart, our laneing is ok (assuming we get the team balance right) and the end game team fights tend to go our way.

If we can sort out mid game farming I reckon we will be one hell of a force.

try this one, linky looks like your build was made before 6.78 (latest Patch) where it was a somewhat viable, still a bit rubbish but viable. they reworked burning spears and berserker blood. you are giving up so much damage just ignoring spears.

I tend to pick the highest rated builds and if it works in one match I keep picking it.

It did totally collapse in that match, really missed having the Q skill and Burning Spears there

Even that build is a bit rubbish to be honest. 6.78 was the birth of the Ghost Sceptre Huskar, which rendered all other builds invalid.

The change to beserkers blood increasing magic resistance meant that you could negate the effect of Ghost Sceptre, which makes you ethereal (only targettable by spells). Whilst in that form, you can manually cast Burning Spears by pressing W and then clicking the opponent, rather than auto cast. The idea is you leap in with the ultimate, and when you get to about half hp use Ghost Sceptre, your magic resistance even WITH ethereal & beserkers blood should be about 50-70%, and then manually click burning spears on their highest priority target. You can get about 5-6 stacks on them which midgame time will destroy anyone.
